Abstract
With the spread of COVID-19 around the world. Many governments will obligate and enforce mask-wearing. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction. This is mainly because wearing a mask can cause respiratory discomfort and hypoxia. This is considered harmful to health. Howev-er, the anti-epidemic effect of masks is remarkable, and there is no other better anti-epidemic plan. Wearing masks is still the mainstream. Therefore, reducing the side effects of masks has become particularly important. This article proposes a new solution. That is, “Umm~” speaks and breathes. This is an active-controlled breathing mode. It can increase respiratory efficiency, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the body. In experiments to evaluate the body`s oxygen content, we use blood oxygen saturation as an indicator. Experimental results show that the normal breathing mode cannot meet the human body`s blood oxy-gen demand under the condition of wearing a mask. The “Umm~” vocal breathing can significantly alleviate the decline in blood oxygen saturation. After using this meth-od, blood oxygen saturation increased by approximately 2.5%.
